Ubotu is a nice bot, but he has some limitations which need to be overcome in order to keep everyone happy and the bot useful. Keywords: Ease of use, Verification, Searching/web display, Locking, Special factoids == Ease of use == Ubotu is very easy to use, that should stay this way: {{{!foo is bar !foo !no foo is baz !foo =~ s/baz/bar/ !forget foo !lock foo }}} == Verification == The biggest problem with the current factoids is that anyone can edit/add them. There is lots of spam and bad stuff added to the bot. Adding/editing factoids should be limited to IRC operators, trusted regulars and docteam members. All current factoids (around 1000) need to be checked. A new factoid has to be confirmed by at least one other person to be used in the bot or on the web pages. Factoids should focus on (in THIS order): * Official documentation * Wikipages * Other In case a factoid falls under 'other', someone should wiki it up and/or contact the docteam. We should prevent double work. == Searching/web display == The current web pages are semi-decent. They could use a facelift though. == Locking == Locking currently is a no-op and can be removed if verification is in place. == Special factoids == !ops !es,!fr,etc These special factoids need some extra love & care.
